This was in the local newspaper but rather than rewriting my own translated version, I am reposting the news as posted on "Cozumel My Cozumel" so please excuse the grammatical and spelling errors
"New Bus Service to North and South Island"
20 Pesos in stead of $20 USDollars. The new bus services for the north and south hotel zones will begin taking passengers this TUESDAY with a new service that will be benefiting workers of the hotels, tourists and public in general, they will be operated by Union of Cabdrivers and Union of Permisionarios, each receiving two routes.
The municipal president Gustavo Ortega Joaquín did the official announcement, accompanied by the state secretary of Communications and Transportations, Sergio Manuel López Villanueva; Juan Gómez Pacheco, of the Union of Cabdrivers, and Edwin Garcia Valdez, of the Union of Permisionarios of Urban Transportation of Cozumel.
This is something I´ve advocated for five years and it is a very welcome thing for Cozumel. Traffic will become less of a problem in the near future.
I want to encourage the visitors to use this service so the city will know that it´s a welcome offering instead of the long standing taxi service.
The state official emphasized that with the new route he expects to promote that the people be accustomed al use of the public transportation and diminish the quantity of motorcycles and vehicles that circulate for the city and that there be a connection among these points with the center of the city.
It fits to indicate that the route in the north zone begins in the location of the park Andrés Quintana Roo, on the avenue 11, by which will displace to give return in the avenue 30, rising along the street 35 of the San Miguel II for arrive at the 65 and to give return in the Golondrina, from there take the boulevard airport and to descend finally to the Rafael. Melgar and to continue toward the north hotel zone.
By the south, the route initiates in the Golondrina, passing for the avenue 65, until arriving at the street 35, to turn over the right and to take the avenue 30, to arrive at the bower of the IMSS, to leave along the street 11, bound for the avenue Rafael E. Melgar, where will give return toward the left for take the south coastal highway.
This is LONG overdue and it is excellent news for the tourists and locals alike!!!!!!
